We are focusing on learning social skills to help us interact respectfully and courteously with each other. We are providing you with the steps we use in school, so you can use these skills at home with your children.
Getting Permission
When you need to get permission from someone, you should:
2. Be specific when you ask permission. The other person should know exactly what you are requesting.
3. Be sure to ask rather than demand. “May I please…?”
4. Give reasons if necessary.
5. Accept the decision.
At this time of the year many students have been absent from school for a variety of reasons. Some confusion still lingers regarding the attendance policy we are following in the district. Please take a moment to read through these reminders.
A note signed by the parent/guardian must be in the school office within 48 hours of the first day of absence. If you child is sick with a virus and is absent on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday a note must be in the office by the end of business on Thursday in order for Tuesday to excused. If the note states the days the child will be out and is turned in on time, then it will be sufficient for that absence.
For award purposes only, 3 tardies will prevent a student from receiving a perfect attendance award for the 3rd and 4th nine weeks.
Parents and guardians only may sign out students from school. For a grandparent, aunt/uncle, sibling or other family member to sign out a student, a signed letter from the parent must be presented to the office giving permission to that person. We want to make sure we are keeping our students safe.

Both Southside and Central Elementary Schools have set a school goal to read 10 million words this year. We are tracking the number of words each student is reading and combining their words to create the schools’ totals. The students’ first goal is to read 100,000 words. Once students have read 100,000 words, we will take their picture for the newspaper and place their name on our Wall of Honor. Look for your child’s picture in the coming weeks and support your child by insisting on reading at home.
We read the book Charlie Cook’s Favorite Book by Julia Donaldson. Please stop by either Southside or Central to read the responses to this book. They are posted outside each library.
